Re: Kitchen "Contest"
One thing I noticed in this scene, which will increase render time is the way the spot lights components are made...
Fred have applied an Emitting material to a circle shaped mesh, however, this will mean that the emitting surface needs to be divided into several triangles (depending on the number of segments used to make the circle...) and each will need to be calculated during the render...
Images often says more than a thousand words, so here you go... As you'll see, I've placed a pointlight inside the "can"... The only function of the point-light (also known as omni lights) is to light the inside of the "can" to make it look realistic...
Below the point-light I've placed a Spotlight... (hope the purpose of the spotlight is obvious..!? )
The spotlight can easily be replaced by an IES-light...
As an alternative, you can place a small square plane and make it a self-emitter, instead of the point-/omni-light inside the can...
Just make sure that the Emitting plane is either a square or a triangle...! I recommend that you only apply self luminance material to square- or triangular- shapes...

To make a spot light can that render quickly, I personally prefer to make them as follow:A circle will increase the render time, since a circle or a sphere shapes needs to build up substantial numbers of triangular mesh faces and the render time will be analogous to the number of triangles.

Solo I love your image. DOF looks sweeeeet!! love how easy it is to set up! I like your other version too, fred. Much more abstract and compelling than the original.
